Coach Yoast Arrested For DUI?!

Will Patton Arrested for DUI 

If you recall the sports classic, "Remember the Titans," staring Fordham Grad, Denzel Washington, you might remember the other passionate coach, "Bill Yoast" played by all time great actor Will Patton.

You might also remember Patton for his appearances in other classics such as Gone in 60 Seconds, Armageddon, The Punisher, The Fourth Kind, and the TV series Fallen Skies.

On Tuesday,  Patton was arrested for driving under the influence in South Carolina. 

According to the police report released by US Weekly, the 60 year old Will Patton, "was pulled over while driving his pickup truck on the Isle of Palms. 

The issued incident report stated that, the star had been veering near the middle of the road. When the officer asked what he had to drink, he responded: "Not too much, a couple bottles...er... couple of glasses of wine." -US Weekly

Will Patton was issued a sobriety test and failed. He blew less than 0.10 when the legal limit for driving is 0.08. He also reportedly refused to take a blood alcohol test, and was released on a $997 personal recognizance bond on early Wednesday morning.

It's sad to see such a great actor fall into the same chatters of other reckless celebrities, but people are human and this just goes to show no one is above the law.

D. Rose out again?!

 Derrick Rose Tears Meniscus in Right Knee

Over the course of his career, Derrick Rose has battled a bunch of different injuries. 

From his torn ACL to his battles with hamstring and ankle strains, D. Rose has been branded as one of the best point guards to play the game because of his tenacious in game play. 

From his laser sharp awareness and unbelievable jumping ability or unbelievable speed for a 6 ft 3 point guard, he's regarded as a great.

But for some sad reason, D. Rose has been one the athletes pummeled with injuries at the worst times.

This morning more sad news was released by ESPN that Derrick Rose would undergo yet another knee surgery to fix a torn Meniscus in his right knee, just after battling a hamstring and ankle injury recently.

Bulls' Head Coach Tom Thibodeau said this morning that, "I don't know what to say other than it's just so unfair. A guy's been through so much and you know what he's put into it. This one, any time you have surgery it's tough, but hopefully this one will be much shorter than the other ones." 

As a student athlete that has been riddled with different injuries over the course of 4 & 1/2 years of Varsity athletics, I definitely feel the pain that Derrick Rose is going through.

When you battle through so much, it takes a lot out of you to want to keep going..But Derrick has a huge fan backing because of his background, what he does for his neighborhood and his ability to be a great role model on and off the court.

So one can only pray and hope Derrick Rose Bounces back from this knee injury and disappointment. Not only for himself and the Chicago Bulls Organization, but for the game of basketball, we all love to see great athletes compete for the Championship in the summer.

Snoop Doggy Dog Goes All Out!

Snoop Dog Throws a Birthday Bash For All-star Son

With all the media attention that stems from being the son of the California Rap Legend Snoop Dog, his All-Star son Cordell Broadus got more limelight thrown his way this weekend. 

Following Cordell Broadus, he just signed his National Letter of Intent to attend UCLA on a football scholarship. Some people feel that it was a publicity stunt, solely because of the other teen mogul Justin Combs, Son of Diddy, who also attends UCLA..But Cordell wanted to start his own way instead of staying so close to home to attend to USC.

Fast forwarding to this weekend, Snoop felt it was only necessary to trow the party of the year for his imminent son of the year. To celebrate Cordell's success, snoop threw a "Coming to America," themed party, based off the Eddie Murphy comedy classic. 

The party was decked out with a lavish dancers, crazy lighting, peddle throwers and a impeccable throne. 

This certainty tops any party most people have seen.  The President of the United States gets a few bottles of nice wine..

Here's the TMZ footage..

More Drama from Brennan Clay

Months back,  former Oklahoma Sooner running back accused his former team mate, All-Pro Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray of having  an affair with his wife. 

Like a young person, Clay took to social media, posting tweets and images of what he believed to be text messages being exchanged from his wife and DeMarco Murray during the summer.












It seemed like the drama was over, but yesterday the media learned that Brennan Clay lost it literally! TMZ covered the story, saying that Clay reportedly,  was arrested for assault after allegedly terrorizing his spouse. 

On January 27th, Brennan Clay was arrested in Dallas. Cops on the scene and were told by his wife that Clay, broke into the room and began beating the life out of her, for a better choice of words. 

The office police report states that Brennan Clay, threw her on the kitchen counter, dragged her downstairs, dragged her through shrubbery and then began to choke her. 

Clay then, "brought her back into the house and "began punching and throwing her around the residence." 

Luckily, Brennan Clay's wife Gina was able to reach a phone and call the authorities. The police were able to later locate Clay and arrest him on assault charges. 

The NFL will definitely have their hands full with yet another domestic assault case.

Eddleman Exposed


 Edelman on Tinder






Super XLIX Champion, Julian Edelman, fell victim to the negatives of social media last week. A woman claiming to have slept with the New England Patriots Wide Receiver, posted an image on the Tinder App. As one can imagine, the results from Boston native Sabrina Dudish posting the picture were far from appealing

Sabrina Dudish faced extreme backlash from Patriot Teammates and people on other social networks. To make matters worse, Sabrina was blacklisted, preventing her from entering most if not all Boston night clubs. From the public perspective, people feel as she highly disrespected Edelman and invaded his privacy.

In her TMZ interview Sabrina stated and claimed that she, "made a mistake. I feels really bad about it."

It's extremely crazy how social media can jeopardize peoples private life!

Hope this serves as a lesson for professional athletes and celebrities in general.

Maurice Clarett Free At Last !

Former College Football All-star Maurice Clarett Off Probation

Many may remember Clarett as the former Ohio State football superstar. Today he was released from his 5 year probation sentencing stemming from robbery and weapons convictions in 2006. 

Maurice Clarett said in court today that he is "finally ready to start the "next chapter" of his life." Whether it be trying to get his sports career back on track, try a corporate job or even try working in a department store, its great to see a man that was shackled with everything that could go wrong change his life and think positively. 

In his era, Maurice Clarett  was collectively considered the best NCAA football player in the country. Clarett robbed two people at gunpoint in 2006,  allegedly, with a .45 caliber handgun, Clarett robbed two people and then escaped in a white SUV with two unidentified persons. Clarett reportedly got away with only a cell phone valued at $150 belonging to one of the victims. Later that year Clarett got busted with 4 guns and a hatchet in his car.  

The  former Ohio State Buckeyes running back was then sentenced to more than 7 years in prison, but was released in 2010 and given 5 more years of probation. 

But today, the 31-year-old appeared in an Ohio courtroom where the judge officially ended his probation two months early. 

According to the Columbus Dispatch, the judge praised Clarett during the hearing as one of the "truly, truly wonderful success stories I've had as a judge." 

The judge also added, "I am not rewarding Mr. Clarett ... Mr. Clarett is rewarding himself by what he accomplished during probation."

More Than a Kiss Coach? Bill Belichick Locks Lips with Daughter

Growing up some parents found a simple kiss on the lips of their children to be a nice expression of love. Over time, some still have continued this behavior until their children reach the age where its more acceptable to give cheek kisses. 

But for Superbowl XLIX winner, Bill Belichick it was a different story. From the outside looking in, many were at awe and some even a bit grossed out from his actions during the post game celebration. 


A normal person would think this image appears very controversial, as if there's extremely more than a lovingly father daughter type of relationship. To me it seems extremely weird because they look to be into it alittle more than a small child and their father.

NY Post covered the story from the angle of Bill Belichick being just very "emotional after such a hard fought game." But the type of kiss he gave his 30 year old daughter ! The kiss he gave his daughter was one maybe given to his spouse.

Some people went to Twitter to express their disgust and loss of respect for Bill Belichick saying, "That’s not right..." , "Lost all respect for Bill Belichick after that kiss." 

I understand kisses and hugs are great expressions of emotion, but in this case one eyebrow is definitely raised at one of the greatest coaches ever.
